Criminal law

R (on the application of Michael John Harvey) v Luton and South Bedfordshire Magistrates Court [2024] EWHC 2832 (Admin)

The Magistrates’ Court has a duty under Rule 3(7) of the Magistrates’ Courts (Freezing and Forfeiture of Money in Bank and Building Society Accounts) Rules 2017 to serve a copy of any order made on an application under section 303Z1 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 on the person whose account is the subject of the application and the relevant financial institution.

The Magistrates’ Court’s refusal to produce an order recording the outcome of the IP’s application on 20 January 2023 was irrational and disproportionate.
